The benefits of using cold or hot water to wash your face after applying a mask.

Which girl nowadays doesn’t use facial mask? Did you wash your face after applying the mask? Don’t tell me you don’t know that you need to wash your face after applying a facial mask. So should you wash your face with cold water or hot water?

Should I wash my face with cold or hot water after applying the mask?

It is best to wash your face with warm water after applying the mask, because too high or too low temperature will damage the skin's stratum corneum. After applying the mask, some nutrient solution from the mask will still remain on your face. Washing your face with warm water can wash away the remaining mask essence on your face and play a cleansing role. Then apply a cold towel to your face to help shrink the pores and prevent them from becoming enlarged. This will allow the essence in the mask to be better absorbed by the skin.

Benefits of washing your face with warm water after applying a mask

Washing your face with warm water after applying the mask can promote blood circulation. Under the infiltration of warm water, the skin pores are expanded, which can thoroughly remove the residual essence on the face, avoid the problem of overnutrition of the skin, make the skin better clean, and facilitate the skin's absorption of subsequent skin care products. Moreover, warm water will not irritate the skin and will not harm the skin's stratum corneum.

How long after applying a mask should you wash your face?

It is generally better to wash your face immediately after applying the mask. Within 15-20 minutes of applying the mask, the facial skin has fully absorbed the nutrients in the mask. After removing the mask, the skin's moisture has reached saturation and can no longer absorb the essence. At this time, it is time to clean the face. It should be noted that after cleaning your face, you should apply toner and moisturizer in time.

Can I use a facial mask if I have acne on my face?

If the situation is not too serious, you can use a facial mask that has oil-control and cleansing functions, such as a mud mask containing anti-acne, anti-inflammatory and calming ingredients. If there is bacterial growth on your face, you should not use moisturizing or oily facial masks for a long time, so as to avoid your face being in a closed and lukewarm state for a long time, which will make the acne worse. But no matter what kind of acne you have, it is not suitable to use a mask with scrub particles, so as to prevent the mask particles from breaking the acne and leaving scars.
